Optical Bistability and Switching in Oppositely Directed Coupler

2016

We report the optical bistability in two core oppositely directed coupler with negative index material channel. Using Langrangian variational method and Jacobi elliptic functions, we construct the solutions of the coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations. The bistability arises due to the effective feedback mechanism as a result of opposite directionality of the phase velocity and energy flow in the negative index material channel. We report the various ways to control and manipulate the bistability threshold and hysteresis loop, which could be useful in the design and development of fast and low-threshold optical switches.

Thermal solitons along wires with flux-limited lateral exchange

2021

We obtain some exact solutions in the context of solitons, for heat conduction with inertia along a cylinder whose heat exchange with the environment is a non-linear function of the difference of temperatures of the cylinder and the environment, due to a flux-limiter behavior of the exchange. We study the consequences of heat transfer and information transfer along the wire, and we compare the situation with analogous solitons found in nonlinear lateral radiative exchange studied in some previous papers. We also find further exact solutions in terms of Weierstrass elliptic functions for the sake of completeness.

On the rigidity theorem for elliptic genera

2018

We give a detailed proof of the rigidity theorem for elliptic gen- era. Using the Lefschetz fixed point formula we carefully analyze the relation between the characteristic power series defining the elliptic genera and the equivariant elliptic genera. We show that equivariant elliptic genera converge to Jacobi functions which are holomorphic. This implies the rigidity of elliptic genera. Our approach can be easily modified to give a proof of the rigidity theorem for the elliptic genera of level N.

Octupolar excitation of ion motion in a Penning trap: A theoretical study

2014

Abstract High-precision Penning-trap mass spectrometry uses the resonant conversion of the magnetron motional mode into the cyclotron motional mode to determine the cyclotron frequency of the ions under investigation. Usually the conversion process is performed by interaction of the ions with external quadrupolar rf-fields. Recently it was found that conversion by means of octupolar rf-fields entails a tremendous increase in mass resolution and is thus of great interest. However, the conversion results depend in an intricate way on the amplitudes and phases of the octupolar rf-field and of the motional modes of the ions. Experimental progress was hampered by the lack of an underlying theory…

A Viscosity Equation for Minimizers of a Class of Very Degenerate Elliptic Functionals

2013

We consider the functional $$J(v) = \int_\varOmega\bigl[f\bigl(|\nabla v|\bigr) - v\bigr] dx, $$ where Ω is a bounded domain and f:[0,+∞)→ℝ is a convex function vanishing for s∈[0,σ], with σ>0. We prove that a minimizer u of J satisfies an equation of the form $$\min\bigl(F\bigl(\nabla u, D^2 u\bigr), |\nabla u|-\sigma\bigr)=0 $$ in the viscosity sense.
